Rustic Glam

This rustic, stone living room is all decked out for Christmas. A mix of store-bought and handmade stockings are hung from the mantel while decorative trees, candles and greenery draw attention to the illuminated star above.

Luxe Meets Rustic

Rich earth tones and on-trend metallic hues provide the palette for this holiday mantel design, which features a swag of fresh greenery as its backbone, peppered with natural pinecones and woven grapevine balls.

Understated Elegance

A palette of white, gray and charcoal helps to blend its seasonal trappings with the room's year-round decor. Sheen is added through a trio of floral cones covered in fringe trim and metallic accents with pewter candlesticks.

Americana Holiday

Bring charm and character to your mantel with a mix of Americana elements. Stick with a range of antiques with aged finishes and a layer of bright and dull reds for a classic look.

Feminine Flair

To give a mantel a feminine update, layer in hues of whites, off-whites and dove grays. When white tones are layered together, the look can become glamorous, modern, traditional or romantic depending on the textures and materials used.

Rustic Chic

To bring a touch of rustic charm to this mantel, a black-and-white photograph depicting a snowed-in cabin is on display above a lush green garland dressed with red-and-white plaid ribbon and cranberries. For a botanical boost, potted junipers are added to either side of the photograph, adding an aromatic effect to the room.

Pop Art

To add a splashy aesthetic to this mantel, it's first covered in stark white garland, then accessorized with high-energy hues — appearing in everything from its hanging ornaments to vases filled with candy.

Holly Jolly

Handmade stockings, evergreen topiaries and a variety of silver and gold Christmas ornaments come together to create this traditional Christmas mantel.

Glitz and Glam

Use shimmery metallics and silky fabrics to make the holidays sparkle and shine. A monochromatic color scheme helps emphasize the glitz but still keeps the look sophisticated and stylish.

Mod Metallics

If you're stuck on which classic metallic to use for your holiday decor, silver versus gold, why not go with the more-is-more approach and use them both? The key to mixing metals successfully is by using a proper balance. For every silver item used, be sure to even out the look with a mix of gold.

For the Kids

To create a playful, kid-friendly mantel, designer Brian Patrick Flynn used saturated colors inspired by modern artwork by Jenny Andrews Anderson. From a grouping of stockings to metallic orb ornaments, the mantel is layered in a variety of rich purple tones.

Haute Stocking Hangers

Sometimes it's all about the small details. This mantel's blue, silver and white color scheme stands out against the natural stone, but the real stars of this scene are the customized chalkboard stocking hangers. Get the how-to.

Deck the Disco

Since reality star Kendra Wilkinson has a bubbly personality, she desired a festive space with flair to match. Designer Laurie March created an unexpected and one-of-a-kind holiday space by incorporating bright hues and a unique disco theme.
